Subject: Concern For Charity
Dear Sir/Madam,
Email:ben50pierre@yahoo.fr
My name is Mr. Benjamin Pierre; I am from France with a family of three and
my wife that I have lost on board the Swissair Flight 111, which crashed
into the Atlantic off Nova Scotia in September 2nd 1998. Names are Benjamin
Jesse James, Benjamin Stacey, Benjamin Wahkyn, Benjamin Whitney Ginger
(wife), which even lead me to stroke. See links below for more detail

I have been diagnosed with esophageal cancer. It has defiled all forms of
medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live,
according to medical experts. I have not particularly lived my life so well,
as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself) but my business. Though
I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and
only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now
I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting
to have or make all the money in the world.
I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would
live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that God has
called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my
immediate and extended family members as well as few close friends .I want
God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give alms
to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I
do on earth. So far, I have distributed money to some charity organizations
in the U.A.E, Somalia and Malaysia.
Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself any
more. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and
distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria
and Pakistan; they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do not
trust them anymore, as they seem not to be contended with what I have left
for them. The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash
deposit of four Million United States Dollars (4, 000, 000. 00) that I have
with a Finance Vaulting Unit Abroad. I will want you to help me collect this
deposit and dispatch it to charity organizations.
N/B: Kindly note that 35% of this funds must go to the tsunami victims, 60%
to other Charity Organization and 5% for your effort and time. I cannot talk
with you on the phone due to my health situation, as I am using my Lap Top
Computer to communicate with you. if you are interested in carrying out this
assignment on my behalf. Please write me privately on my
Email:ben50pierre@yahoo.fr
God be with you.
Regards,
Mr. Benjamin Pierre.
